Field Notes

Habitat:

Common breeders in coastal and inland wetlands. Spend the winter in southern coastal areas of their range, and in marine and freshwater habitat and are common in mangrove swamps.

Notes:

Was patrolling the rocks making the sea wall at this park. There were also many curly tailed lizards on these same rocks. It did catch a couple of things, but I couldn't see exactly what it was. Maybe a small lizard or most likely Rock slater (or sea roach) that crawl on these rocks.
